Student Reviews

Rmit!!!

Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars

Teachers are lovely and I would like to improve the campus itself

Grad Cert in Marketing - excellent

Luke Carbon rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I came from a music background with some experience in event management and basic brand marketing when I was admitted to the 6 months Grad Cert in Marketing. It was just what I needed. Concepts were made very clear from the start, the faculty were excellent and were very happy to meet with me outside of class time, and the university facilities are of a world-class.

RMIT Architecture
